In 1962, US deployed nuclear weapons in Turkey aiming at Soviet Union.
When Soviet deployed nuclear weapons in Cuba in a counter move, US invaded Cuba ( Bay of Pig) and nearly brought the world to an end. If not for the good sense of Russian leader after a night at the opera, we would not be here today.
So, why cannot Russians demand that the West not push NATO to it's border. NATO is a military alliance led by US formed to counter Soviet Union during cold war.
War is never good for anyone.
But remember, when you point a finger at others, 4 fingers are pointing back at yourself. US started over 200 wars since 1945.

Khrushchev said he would bury America. Once he realised JFK would hold firm Russia backed down.

If not for NATO Putin would have started picking off many countries threatening nukes on any country that helped them.
